Bowland 4ply: patterns using this classic British Bluefaced Leicester wool yarn

Here's a gallery of patterns which call for Bowland 4ply, they are listed in no particular order.  Bowland 4ply is my quintessential British Bluefaced Leicester sock yarn which I have been dyeing since before ECY was a twinkle in my eye (since about 2008 - I founded ECY in 2011)! It's 100% superwash BFL with 400m to 100g, and it's my most woolly type of yarn.  Just FYI - there are no links to Ravelry here. Do you have a pattern calling for Bowland 4ply which you would like me to include in this gallery? Email me at info@edencottageyarns.co.uk with an image and the pattern...

Combining Milburn 4ply/DK with fluffy Eldwick Lace

Following the success of the ever-popular Love Note pattern by Tin Can Knits (available on Ravelry and available from them directly HERE) and having made mine in Milburn 4ply (HERE) held double with Eldwick Lace (HERE) I thought it would be cool to do an Eldwick Lace update of 20 colours specifically chosen to go with each of the 20 Milburn colours. You can also see these pics on Flickr HERE.  Here's my Love Note (I made it using slightly smaller needles to get gauge compared to what they recommend):         And here are alllll the swatches...

Pendle 4ply: Projects and Patterns using this buttery soft merino yarn

This blog post is designed as a useful resource for inspiration for a specific yarn: Pendle 4ply (100% superwash extrafine merino - 100g/400m). There are projects that use it, and patterns that call for it. It's so handy to have all this in one place!  Just FYI - there are no links to Ravelry here. We've linked to patterns and projects that are available to purchase/view elsewhere. If they're only available on Ravelry we will say that, but not link to it.  Pendle 4ply is a gorgeous, smooshy, soft, bouncy, and smooth superwash merino yarn which has great stitch definition....

Tempo 4ply: projects and patterns using our original merino/nylon sock yarn

It occurred to us that it might be really useful to have an ECY way to browse patterns and projects made using specific yarns, for inspiration and ideas. It's one of those things where once you think of it it seems blatantly obvious 🙈🤣  Just FYI - there are no links to Ravelry here. We've linked to patterns and projects that are available to purchase/view elsewhere.  Tempo is a brilliant all-round 4ply sock yarn - it softens considerably after washing for next-to-skin wear. With the nylon content being paired with a more coarse/less fine merino fibre, it is especially hard wearing...
